Hot Winter Nights by Jill Shalvis Synopsis: <\/strong>Who needs mistletoe?<\/p>\n Most people wouldn\u2019t think of a bad Santa case as the perfect Christmas gift. Then again, Molly Malone, office manager at Hunt Investigations, isn\u2019t most people, and she could really use a distraction from the fantasies she\u2019s been having since spending the night with her very secret crush, Lucas Knight. Nothing happened, not that Lucas knows that\u2014but Molly just wants to enjoy being a little naughty for once . . .<\/p>\n Whiskey and pain meds for almost-healed bullet wounds don\u2019t mix. Lucas needs to remember that next time he\u2019s shot on the job, which may be sooner rather than later if Molly\u2019s brother, Joe, finds out about them. Lucas can\u2019t believe he\u2019s drawing a blank on his (supposedly) passionate tryst with Molly, who\u2019s the hottest, smartest, strongest woman he\u2019s ever known. Strong enough to kick his butt if she discovers he\u2019s been assigned to babysit her on her first case. And hot enough to melt his cold heart this Christmas.<\/p>\n Pre-Order Today!<\/strong><\/p>\n Amazon: https:\/\/amzn.to\/2AUOaTF<\/a> Add to Goodreads: http:\/\/bit.ly\/2vxyP6a<\/a><\/u><\/p>\n Excerpt:<\/strong><\/p>\n Joe looked behind him to make sure they were alone. \u201cMolly and the old lady elves. What\u2019s really going on with that?\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cHave you tried asking her yourself?\u201d<\/p>\n Joe grimaced. \u201cLook, she doesn\u2019t belong out there doing what we do, okay? She\u2019s \u2026 amazing, but too soft to do it.\u201d He shook his head. \u201cShe\u2019s always been that way, far too tender-hearted for her own good, dragging home strays, wanting to save the world. She\u2019ll believe any sob story given to her. She loves too hard. She\u2019ll get taken advantage of doing what we do\u2014\u201c<\/p>\n \u201cDon\u2019t,\u201d Lucas said. \u201cDon\u2019t do that.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cDo what?\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cDon\u2019t belittle her. She\u2019s not a little kid anymore, Joe. Nor is she incompetent. Far from it. In fact, she\u2019s smart as hell. Look, a lot of bad shit happens to all of us, and our experiences have made us hard. Cold. But not her. She\u2019s special, and stronger than both of us put together.\u201d<\/p>\n This got a moment of surprised silence from Joe. And since Lucas didn\u2019t want to fight with him, he rose and grabbed his laptop for their meeting.<\/p>\n \u201cWhat\u2019s going on between the two of you?\u201d Joe asked.<\/p>\n Lucas turned back. \u201cYou asked me to get involved. I\u2019m involved. And you know what? Out of all the things she loves, she loves you the most. Instead of trying to hold her back, do you know what you should be doing? You<\/em> should be doing the job you asked me to do. You<\/em> should be training her, letting her fly, and stand at her back while she does.\u201d<\/p>\n Joe was stunned. \u201cThis is all just a phase for her, why would I do that?\u201d About the Author:<\/strong><\/p>\n New York Times and USA Today bestselling author<\/em> Jill Shalvis writes warm, funny, sexy contemporary romances and women\u2019s fiction. An Amazon, BN & iBooks bestseller, she\u2019s also a two-time RITA winner and has more than 10 million copies of her books sold worldwide.<\/p>\n Jill lives with her family in a small town in the Sierras full of quirky characters (Any resemblance to the quirky characters in her books is mostly coincidental). She does most of her writing on her deck surrounded by more animals than humans. Which is quite astonishing considering she\u2019s a city girl who was plucked from the wilds of L.A. to the wilds of the Sierra\u2019s. Most of her books come from a combination of hard work, cookies, and hot guy pics, and not necessarily in that order.<\/p>\n Jill often travels to reader weekends & conventions where she LOVES getting to meet and hang-out with readers. The only problem being she tends to get lost in her hotels. So if you ever see Jill Shalvis roaming the halls, someone please return her immediately.<\/p>\n Connect with the Author:<\/strong><\/p>\n Website: http:\/\/jillshalvis.com\/<\/a> Hot Winter Nights by Jill Shalvis Series: Heartbreaker Bay #6 Release Date: September 25, 2018 Synopsis: Who needs mistletoe?
